This study systematically reviewed recent (2016-2021) Industrial Design (ID) master theses and final projects at U.S. land grant universities to understand the trend of ID graduate program outcomes from the selected universities. The process consisted of 1) framing questions for a review, 2) identifying relevant works, 3) assessing the quality of studies, 4) summarizing the evidence, and 5) interpreting the findings. This paper presents the findings of the study, including thesis/final project research types, the diversity of committees, fields of design influences that the thesis/final project contribute to, types of outcomes, and the utilized research methodologies. Furthermore, the author discusses how to improve the guidance for ID graduate students for their master's thesis course at a practical level by comparing the results of the study with existing literature. This paper will help inform future practices of masters of ID thesis courses and graduate education. 

An analysis of master's in industrial design theses at US land-grant universities: A systematic literature review

Many companies have recently renewed their identities. Companies have started to recognize the importance of visual identity and this trend is evident in many recently released identities. The renewed identities of these companies are more distinguishable and the meanings of the brands are more easily understood by consumers. Therefore, designing a unique visual identity and the role of these designs are now of critical importance to branding. This study identifies the design trends of visual identities in Korea that provides designers with useful information on identity design as a reference for unique designs. This paper also redefines the role of identity design in branding. Data was gathered during 2006 and 2010 on newly released identities design. These identities were grouped by the similarities of design method and expression such as their shape, colors and design techniques. The findings were analyzed through a mapping method. These analyzed maps show static data, such as the colors used and the emotional language expressed. Firstly, mainly vivid and strong, vigorous colors were used. Secondly, shapes were frequently adapted as three dimensional from two dimensional designs. Thirdly, free hand drawing was used distinctly. If designers and brand managers can understand these design trends of visual identities, it will help them to avoid similarities of identity design and merging images which are similar with other competitive companies. It also provides an overview of visual identity and redefines the role of visual identity design.
